CARRIER PIGEONS.

ment and the Result

Remarkable speed Of the White
Winged Messengers---An Expert
ment and the Result.
For several months the road men on the
Cable branch of the Rock Island & Peoria
road have been experimenting with
carrier pigeons testing the speed of their
fight, ETC., and they have found that
little messengers with their natural mode
of travel Guido locomotive power ten to
| one. AT first the trainmen would take
the birds out few stations from Gable
and liberate them, noting the time and
having the time caught on their arrival
at Cable, thus ascertaining the time con
sumed in the flight. The rapidity with
which the birds travelled was
wonderfully surprising, and finally
the distance from Cable was heightened
two or three stations before the birds
were allowed to fly Every time the
birds seemed to increase their speed, and
last Saturday pair was brought to
Rock Island and set free Immediately
upon the arrival of the train al
SOC. The birds flew straight up
in the air, whirled round few times,
and then struck out directly for the south.
The distance to Cable is twenty-siX
miles, and at $50 the pigeons were there,
having made it in twenty>four minutes, a
rate of a little over mile per minute.
The trains travel the distance in about
an hour and half.
The whole town of Cable is delighted
with the carrier pigeons and many he's
lieve the little birds will furnish the
future method of transmitting messages
promptly.
The Cable ball club, which is playing
in Rock Island today brought in two of
these reliable messengers. One was
started for Cable with the score up to the
middle of the game aud the other will be
sent out at the close of the coutest-witb
blue ribbon attached if Gable is victori,

THE QUEEN AND FRANK COLLIER.


Chicsgo's Representative Of British Born
Americans Receives Remarkable Favor.
LONDON, Aug. 23-Mr. Frank H. Collier,
oil chicago. was the recipient of a private
audience with the queen at Osborne house
Monday afternoon, and presented to her maj
Jesty the jubilee address of the residents of
Chicago of British birth or parentage. In pre-.
senting the address, Mr.. Collier said: Your
majesty, in behalf OF $1,000 people Of Chi
cago of British birth or parentage it gives
me great pleasure to present to you this con-
gratulatOry jubilee address Though sepa-
rated for from our mother land, our hearts still
beat warmly with love and veneration for
England's queen
The queen replied: II thank you and the
people you represent for the address. and
thank you personally for your own kind
words My answer to the address YOU will
lind in this paper" The queen then handed
to MIR. Collier her formal reply to the address,
which is as follows:
Il thank you for the address you have pre-
scented to me Coming, ii does, from persons
OF English birth beyond the seas who retain feel.

pathy with her welfare, Iseceive It with peculiar

not only toward the Anglo Saxon race of these
realms, but also toward myself is to me source
OF much qualification. and iains me In the be
lieI that the friendship and good will which now
exists between the two countries, and which
have always endeavored to promote, are of a real
and enduring character"
Mr. Collier was received by Sir Henry +.
Ponsonby and escorted to Osborne house.
where at O'Clock he took luncheon with Sir
John Cawell and several members of the
queens household, including Sir H. F. Pom
sonby, Dr. Jenner, her majesty's physician
and Col Byug, after which he was shown
about the house The audience took place at
$50 The address is mainly congratulatory,
out the intention OF the signers that her mai
esfy should not be misled as to their political
allegiance Is plainly evident from the sen
tence; Although the signers are proud to be
citizens of the United States they do not for
get their British birth or parentage."
As Mr.. Collier retired, the queen looked at
the covers of the address and said: at is very
pretty, The crown princess Of Prussia was
present. The whole proceeding is most ex-
traordinary, in view of the fact that the
queen absolutely refused to receive personally
the English addresses that were not published
here
MIR. Collier was driven from Osborne house
to Cowes in one of the royal carriages, and
returned to London in the evening. He was
asked by press representative whether he
kissed the q'leen's hand, and replied: "No,
did not, for the reason that it would have
been improper, as am not a British subject,
but am proud TO be an American citizen. II
consider the fact that the queen granted
private audience for the purpose of present
ing the address compliment not only to the
British residents of Chicago, but to citizens
Of the town generally"

Stewed Wood for Food.

We have all had our sympathies aroused BY
statements that these people (the natives Of
northern Siberla) are often during famlnes
compelled to resort to wood for food. Now the
fact is that careless observers have simply
been imposed upon, or they have jumped at
conclusions without caring, or perhaps being
able to make inquiries, and because they
thought that statement Of these views would
make heartrending page or their books, and
by inference show what distressing time they
themselves must have had among such sur.
roupdings. Wood In n certain form is a most
common and constant article OF diet en- the
Lena River all along the north coast and In
the immediate ncighhorhood Of Yakutsk, IN

Verchoyansk, except In a few sheltered val

than the larch and for miles south Of the free

plentiful It usually forms part OF the evening

near every hut testify. They know by expert
epce that the fact Of their eating wood arouse,
the sympathies Of strangers, and shrewdly use
